Welcome to Mind Witness

This is a place where the mind gets to witness itself through a method of self-inquiry called The Work of Byron Katie. The Work of Byron Katie is a way of identifying and questioning the thoughts that cause all the anger, fear, depression, addiction, and violence in the world.

The Work is a Bridge

I see The Work of Byron Katie as a bridge that allows us to cross over from apparent reality to our inner world, peeping behind the curtain of our stressful thoughts and reaching a place where the truth was never forgotten, just overlooked. The Work is a process of internal inquiry leading to personal insights and self-realisation. It is a method of contemplation of our thoughts, of the effect that believing them has on our life and on our relationships with ourselves and others. It is a way to resolve past trauma, hurt and fear as it dispels the frightening images and impressions of our past and the mirage of our future. It is a way of experiencing ourselves beyond our belief system and thereby ending our own suffering. It is a path to inner wisdom, joy, peace and deep connection. It is an invitation to discover the Truth of who we are. It is so simple, anyone can do it. All it requires is on open mind and the desire to know the... read more

The World: a Reflection of Yourself

“Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back at you.” “No one has ever been angry at another human being—we’re only angry at our story of them.” “The world is your perception of it. Inside and outside always match — they’re reflections of each other. The world is the mirror image of your own mind” Byron... read more

Byron Katie, founder of The Work
“Your mind created the entire world of suffering. To free our world, free yours. To free your world, free your mind”. “Reality is always kinder than the story we tell about it.” “To free your world, free your mind”. “A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts but our attachment to our thoughts that causes suffering.” Byron Katie...

Suffering is optional We only suffer when we believe a thought that is not true for us

The Work

What is The Work of Byron Katie?

The Work is a process of internal inquiry leading to personal insights and self-realisation.

It is a bridge to our inner world, a method of contemplation of our thoughts, a reflection on the effect that believing them has on our life and on our relationships with ourselves and others. It is a way to resolve past trauma, hurt and fear as it dispels the frightening images and impressions of our past and the mirage of our future.

It is a way of experiencing ourselves beyond our belief system and thereby ending our own suffering. It is a path to inner wisdom, joy, peace and deep connection. It is an invitation to discover the Truth of who we are.

It is so simple, anyone can do it. All it requires is on open mind and the desire to know the truth.

When The Work entered my life in 2009, my life on the surface was functioning well. However, deep inside I felt as if I was constantly carrying a big heavy slab of concrete in my chest. I was convinced that I was ‘doing time’ here on earth – not a bad place, just not home – that I didn’t belong, that I was an inconvenience to people with nothing much to offer.

Moving The Work in Zimbabwe

This coming September and October, I will be taking part in a project in Harare, Zimbabwe. The aim of this project is to use The Work of Byron Katie to help people living with HIV and AIDS reduce their self-stigma.

Self-stigma is defined as negative self-judgements resulting in shame, worthlessness and self-blame adversely affecting the heath of a person. When self-stigma is present, it feeds a cycle of denial. alienation and fear of disclosure of the sufferer’s status. In turn, this may result in behaviours that contribute to the spreading of the disease.

Self-judgment is nothing more than a set of beliefs a person has about him or herself. Dismantling painful and limiting beliefs is the purpose of The Work, the perfect tool
